About Vicki

I am an accomplished distance runner out of St. Louis, Missouri. Within my 23 years of running, I have competed in three Missouri State Cross Country meets, achieved seven Boston Marathon qualifying times and completed the Boston Marathon twice. My marathon PR is 3:05:04 and I am currently training for the elusive sub-3! Since 2013, I have worked super hard to bring my 5k time from a 27:13 to an 18:44! One of my biggest running accomplishments thus far has been coaching myself from a 3:27 to a 3:09 in the marathon. November 2017 brought an 18-minute PR and hands down one of my strongest races to date! With over 18 years in the healthcare industry, I have a natural passion for helping others. I have an immense love for running and the training that goes into being successful. I strive to help my athletes discover how truly rewarding running can be.

Training with Vicki

Athlete requirement

No requirements! I just ask that you are open, honest and ready to put in some work (something tells me that if you're looking for a coach, you are ready to WORK!) I am looking for athletes who believe in setting goals and who believe they can achieve them. I want a team of like-minded people who love the daily grind of training as much as I do and who appreciate the gift of running. Most importantly, I want athletes who are willing to trust in me and my role as their coach. I firmly believe you can get fitter and faster, but you need to be smart and strategic. Let me help! Lastly, a coach/athlete relationship is super important to me. This needs to be a good fit for both of us, or it just won't work. I want to be your coach, but I also want to be your friend. This isn't just about prescribing workouts, it's about being someone to go to for advice, questions, fears...someone to celebrate a successful run with...someone who is training just like you and gets it. Maybe I'm the right coach for you...or maybe not! I would love the opportunity to chat to see if we are a good match!
